CityAppTour is a travel app with GPS-guided audio tours across European cities. We designed and developed a mobile platform that lets travelers explore on their own schedule, without the costs of traditional guided tours.
CityAppTour is a travel and tourism app offering GPS-guided audio tours across European cities. Perpetio worked with the client to design and develop a mobile platform that lets travelers discover new places independently, without the fixed schedules or costs of traditional guided tours.
CityAppTourCityAppTour now offers travelers a flexible way to discover European cities independently, while giving the client tools to support user acquisition and engagement.
A guided city tour costs around €30 and runs on someone else’s schedule. CityAppTour wanted to change that by giving travelers an affordable app that works like a personal guide in their pocket. The business also needed growth built in, with gifting features and smart push notifications to bring travelers back.
Making it feel effortless was the hard part. Each waypoint needed its own GPS trigger distance. Audio had to play in the right order, starting at Waypoint 1, with no overlapping recordings. And in quiet places like churches, travelers needed a way to listen discreetly.
A dynamic map and GPS waypoints lead travelers along the route, and each story starts by itself at its stop. Audio plays through the speaker, Bluetooth or the earpiece, for quiet places like churches and museums.
Branded selfies, shareable credits and well-timed nudges turn travelers into promoters.
Buy a tour for friends and family, even for people who have no CityAppTour account yet.
The tour language is picked separately from the app language, and favorites stay when it changes.
One Flutter codebase for iOS and Android, with tour content managed in Statamic CMS v6.
Travelers can explore cities at their own pace, listen through the phone speaker, Bluetooth, or earpiece, and access cached maps and audio when they’re offline.
